the Vivi doll!

the Vivi doll 2010

 Here is a picture of the doll I made inspired by and created for my niece Vivi!  I used stretch jersey fabric, buttons, and stuffed it with recycled bamboo and recycled rayon stuffing.  The doll is super soft and cuddly.  Ryan asked if I was sure I wanted to give it away, because he caught me hugging it throughout the time I was creating it.  It was really fun to make.  I drew a free hand pattern for the body, and then draped and pinned the shirt and leggings to get general shapes for the clothes.  I definitely learned a lot, and I think it would be a lot faster the next time around, if I decide to do another doll. <3
